It's just a clone of Minecraft hoppers, functions nearly identical to them minus mesecons making them stop and the way they're placed. I'm just releasing it now so you guys can mess around with it and have some fun.

Read this before you download

A hopper will use a chest as a reservoir. A hopper connected to a furnace from the top will put items in the source box and a hopper connected to the side will put it into the fuel. Now if you put one below the furnace, it will take smelted items out of it.

You can use hoppers to transport items from chest to chest without worrying about them despawning.

You can throw items into the top of hoppers. They'll get "sucked" into them.

Hi,I changed the code a bit so some nodes wich have the descriptin "I think you broke something" arent shown in creative inverntory anymore.I also changed the texture to default_steel_block, but if you dont like this you can easily change back this. I hope my init.lua can help you.

Thanks for this Mod, i love to build Machines in MineTest using Furnaces, Tubes, Mesecons, Digilines, Technic, etc the Hoppers fit in perfectly with the Tools i have already. ^_^

I just tested this mod works perfectly, a hopper above a chest (a perfect garbage collector) gonna use this in my city since i always throw items away, it´s a much faster way of storing items in a chest, just press Q several times for the items you want to drop (get rid of) while you stand on the hopper or next to it and like magic the Hopper stores it all in the chest.

Realy cool and useful, it will also solve the problem i had before with overloading a Furnace with Fuel and or Raw materials when they are hooked up to other machines. :)

Sorry for the silly question, but I'm not a minecraft player and I barely have 2 weeks playing testcraft. Today I installed the mod (the version from tenplus1) but I can't connect connectir from the sides.

I tried to do something like the image in the first post, I can place it in a side of the furnance (shift+r_click) but it does not connect neither one to each other. The only way it works for me is when they are one in the top of the other, in the top or bottom of the chests.

Place a hopper into the crafting grid and it becomes a 'side' hopper, place side-hopper and use a screwdriver tool (1 stick with 1 steel on top) to rotate the hopper until connected with chest or furnace etc.
